How do I check to ensure the COM port is listed properly in Windows?
View AnswerTo ensure your serial device is installed properly, complete the following:
- Press Windows Key + R to open the Device Manager. Once Run comes up, type “devmgmt.msc” into the text field and press Enter.
- Expand the section labeled, Ports (COM & LPT).

I have everything hooked up, but nothing is functioning correctly.
View AnswerTo rule out potential issues, quickly test your individual components to ensure that they are working correctly individually, and are not the source of the problem:
- Serial cables
- Serial ports
- Serial devices
Test your components by:
- Hook up the serial cable(s), serial port(s), and serial device(s) in a different setup to see if the issue stems from a particular component, or the setup as a whole.
- Replace the serial cable, port, or device within your setup to further troubleshoot the issue’s origin.
When testing cables:
- Test each cable individually.
- Use short cables when you are testing.
When testing serial ports and devices:
- Press the Windows key + R, in Run, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open the Device Manager. You can then check to see if your device is listed under Ports (COM & LPT).
- Ensure that the COM port number is the correct number for the serial device and that the software being used to connect the computer to the serial device uses the correct COM port number.
- If the device is listed with an error, follow the instructions on the website to reinstall the drivers.
-
Serial communication is not functioning correctly, how can I tell if the problem caused by the adapter or my serial software application?
View AnswerOlder serial communication applications make use of legacy hardware addresses, often incompatible with PCI, PCIe, and USB to Serial products. Contact the software provider to troubleshoot.

Customer –
This 4-port serial adapter works equally well with Win7 and WinXP. Win7 does not require installation of the device driver; it is supported natively. WinXP requires installing the included CD_ROM device driver. Because the XP-based instrument does not have a CD-ROM, I copied the contents of the CD-ROM to a flash drive and installed from there. Documentation is provided on the CD-ROM. I have had no problems at all with the adapter under heavy, albeit standard, use. Unfortunately, I have not used it with Win8 but will augment this review once I do.
This 4-port adapter is roughly the same price as the 1-port adapter at my local electronics hobby store. I am really glad that I found it at a great price because I was anticipating having to use four 1-port adapters and a hub, which would have been very messy, cost five times as much, and required storing lots of stuff after my project is over.
It’s a cool solution.

This products works with Windows 8 x64 plug N play no needed drivers and is idea for a Cisco Rack configuration. There is no need for an Cisco Access Server with this product.
Harlan –
For those Cisco techs that need to use the same computer to setup multiple switches at the same time this quad port is great. The only problem that it has is that if you connect all of the same cables at one time to the cisco console cables you will not know which cable is which comm port. So the best way to do it is to connect one at a time while establishing a console session. I also use Tera Term which allows for multiple comm port connections. It comes with a software driver disk and works well in Windows7.
A. Lawson –
This USB to serial port adapter has 4 separate serial cables that connect to a single USB 2.0 plug.
Each of the 4 serial cable ends is slightly more than 3 feet long. The USB cable end is one foot long. Total end-to-end length is a little bit more than 4 feet long.
Each serial cable is labeled “1”, “2”, “3”, or “4” which makes it easy to track your connections. The connections always retain the same com port, so you won’t need to reconfigure you software after restarting you computer.
The adapter has 3 separate LEDs: red = power, green = TX, yellow = RX.
The adapter comes with a CD-ROM that contains USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 drivers for many operating systems including Linux, Mac, Windows, and more. The release notes on the CD-ROM mention that newer drivers can be found at […]
No paper instruction manual is included which might cause inexperienced computer users to have moderate difficulty with the setup. Experienced users will find the setup straight forward and simple.
Installation on Windows 7 was easy for me. I found the appropriate installer on the CD-ROM. I had to right-click the installer and select run-as-administrator. The first time I plugged the adapter in it took several minutes for the device to be detected, so be patient. Subsequent detections are fast.
All 4 serial adapters can be used simultaneously.
Overall I am satisfied with the quality of this device.
A. M. Williams “aaronw75” –
This four port adapter has been absolutely rock solid under Linux. I just plugged it in and it worked. I have been using this non-stop for a couple of months now and have had absolutely zero problems. I usually run it at 115,200 baud but have had no problems when pushing it as high as 460,800 baud.
I have used a number of different USB to serial cables in order to work with numerous embedded devices and I always seem to have problems. I have seen adapters suddenly stop working, requiring me to disconnect and reconnect them or having their baudrate suddenly change or just start spewing garbage. Not this one.
The transmit and receive LEDs are also nice to have since they can indicate that something is happening on another serial line I am not currently looking at. The cables are nicely molded with the serial port number molded into each connector.
I am saddened to see that it is listed as no longer available since this is such a great adapter.
